You should have taken a lesson or have some playing experience to participate, but don't hesitate to come because you think you aren't good enough. The first hour will be assisted and the second hour is reserved for beginners to continue playing together. Sign up for Assisted Play on November 30 here.

La Posada to Use Our Courts in December

The QCPC Board made an agreement with the POA Board to allow La Posada to use our courts in return for La Posada allowing swimmers to use their pool while the Quail Creek pool is closed. In December, La Posada is permitted to use Courts 15 and 16 from 1 PM to 3 PM on Mondays and Thursdays. So if you see these non-Quail Creek residents playing on those courts, please be cordial to them.
